Matthew Allison

I just found out that Matt has died.

He and I were friends many years ago at school. He was as nice and decent a person that I have ever met.

I have not seen or talked to him in many, many years, but this will be a tearful evening for me.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Matt's death. I worked with Matt at Pharmacists Mutual Insurance in Algona, Iowa, for a few years. He was a gentle giant. I will always remember his quiet manner. I had the pleasure to also work with two of Matt's brothers (Jon and Chris) - great men!

Please keep the memories alive for the entire family - especially the three children. My heart and prayers go out to all of you!

I first met Matt many years ago when he was legal counsel for claims in Des Moines. He was a great friend and I will miss him.

Matt was my manager for a bvv ruef time while I worked for Nationwide. He was one of the best managers I ever had the pleasure of working with. He was firm but fair. He always was quick witted and smiled often. He had a heart of gold. He was so excited about getting married and beibg a daddy. He will be missed greatly by any but will always be loved, honored and respected Go rest high on that mountain Matt, your work on earth is done. May you rest peacefully in the loving arms of God our Father.

Kristi and children,
I was very shocked to hear of Matt's illness and passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. I loved being your neighbor. I will always remember how much the kids loved our dog Bug and sometimes they even liked Leon. :) my thoughts and prayers are with you!

I came to know Matt through work at Nationwide. Matt was such a kind and friendly person and always had a smile when you would meet him. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing but know that he is with the Lord now and feels no pain.

Matt was one of the first people I would seek out when visiting the Des Moines office. He was witty and smart and just generally a joy to visit. I appreciated listening to him talk about family which he obviously loved so much. My heart breaks for their pain but hope the lessons he imparted and memories he created with them last forever.

I worked with Matt when I was at Allied/Nationwide and we would have many discussions around the Iowa football team as well as work related things. He was one of the kindest people I have ever had the good fortune to know. Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers with the family.

Our thoughts & prayers go out to Kristi, Max, Evy, Anna & entire Allison Family.

Matt was such a kind person. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Matt was such a sweet guy and a great lawyer. It was a privilege to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

We are part of the OLIH family. The Allison family worshiped right across the aisle. Matt was a cross bearer. I think of him as gentle giant and a very loving father. Kristi, Max, Evy, and Anna, you are in our prayers.
Peace,
Donna and John Jameson

We will always remember Matt. Sending prayers and love your way.

Matt was not just tall but a true giant of a man - humble, caring, witty and mostly, devoted to family, To Kristi, Max, Evy & Anna - I am truly sorry for your loss. While Matt was a co-worker, I am proud to also call him my friend.

Sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Matt for many years. He was well respected in the insurance industry and great to work with. I will remember Matt as a caring and kind person. I also loved, and will remember, his dry sense of humor. His loss will be felt by many. I will be praying for the family during this very difficult time.

Matt and I worked together and had some good conversations about faith and his illness. My heart aches at this time but I also know the we are Easter people and this is not the final chapter. May the light of Christ shine upon Matt and his loved ones.

Very sorry for your loss! I knew Matt from work. Your obituary was right on. He was witty. I loved his sense of humor. He had a calm and positive outlook on everything. He was smart! I respected him and his opinions. I seemed to always run into him in the skywalk walking during lunch. Too young! I'll miss him.

I am thinking of you, Kristi, and praying for you, Max, Evy and Anna. I wish there were words to take away your sadness. I will hope you stay strong and find peace. Love and blessings to each of you, Carol
